When's the last time you had an argument or disagreement with someone? Do you recall what sparked it? Do you find yourself dwelling on what he or she said that made you so mad and caused you to storm out of the room or simply "run away" from the altercation? Isn't it ironic how at times we can have a disagreement with someone at one moment and everything is all good the next? Well, I'd like to believe that the reason behind it is Effective Communication.

Please explain to me how one gets away with wearing a jogging suit & tennis shoes to a prom? How does one get away with wearing dresses revealing your belly or showing off too much cleavage or wearing so-called "booty shorts"? I'm sure many of you saw the excerpt on CNN news a while back about the high school student in the gold dress that was turned away from her prom because of her dress. I was listening to a radio show that same day, and quite a few high school students were calling in saying how embarrassed they were for the girl in the dress. When I was in high school (which wasn't that long ago), students would be turned around & sent home if they were to show up in something too revealing or inappropriate!
